A WW2 Brodie helmet, Mark II, with original textured sand paint and original liner (marked size 6 7/8). This is possibly a South African example, as the liner buffers appear to be felt rather than the more normal British rubber-like material. Also, there are three holes in the rear brim, for the attachment of a neck curtain for protection from the sun. As well as the size, the liner is also marked with a maker's name which is now partly obscured (appears to contain AGER-PARD), the WD arrow and the date 1942. The chin-strap is the usual canvas type with elasticated sections either side, attached to rectangular rings. The liner is stiff from age, but is basically complete and still has the lace. The top screw is of the small brass type, again suggesting South African army attribution. Some corrosion to the rivets and rings, but in generally good condition.
